Look, Bungie/Deej/Cozmo.. You know just like we do that this game is up against the ropes. The Refer A Friend program all but screams desperation. Many of us on these forums (your most dedicated players) were convinced that the announcement of expansion 4 would be made at PSX. Don't get me wrong, sparrow racing league looks like a blast, considering I'm an absolute beast on a sparrow, but a small 3 week event like that is not going to save this game. You [b]need[/b] to let us know what the plans are going forward.
The uncertainty of what's to come in Y2 is not doing this game any favors. As soon as vanilla launched last September we knew that we would have TDB to look forward to in early December, with House of Wolves following a few months behind it. We [i]had things to look forward to.[/i] We [i]knew the game had more content coming right around the corner.[/i] You had no problem telling us this before the game even released so my question to you is this:
Why are you leaving your most dedicated and loyal fans in the dark as to whether we can expect more DLC-level content. We absolutely [i][b][u]need[/u][/b][/i] to know what the plan is. I know you're not the kind of company that lays it all on the line right off the bat, but it seems like you're doing absolutely nothing to try and keep the players who are on the verge of leaving from doing so. I know there's one day left at PSX, so I beg you this:
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE PSX WITHOUT [i]AT LEAST[/i] TEASING THE NEXT DLC. There just isn't enough relevant content in TTK to keep this game alive until September. Don't get me wrong, TTK is incredible compared to the way things were done in Y1. The story, quests, lore, and overall gameplay is unparalleled to that of Vanilla through HoW. It's just the fact that once TTK went live, we lost the relevance of 2/3 of the content in this game. VoG, which is easily the best raid in this game by a large margin, is utterly pointless to run other than for shits and giggles. Some of the most loved strikes are not available in the LV36/Heroic strike playlists.. Something needs to be announced.
Let me finish with this.. I am certainly not one to bash Bungie or Luke Smith (who, btw, I have been fully supportive of since the whole Eurogamer debacle), and I don't consider this post a 'roast'.. I just want what's best for my favorite game.. And what's best for Destiny right now is to cut the shit and reveal your plans for Y2. If tomorrow and the next weekly update come and go without the announcement of the next expansion, this game is going to slip deeper and deeper into the coma it's about to find itself in.
TL;DR: Cut the vague bullshit and give us some answers. Uncertainty isn't doing this game any favors. At this point we [b]need[/b] to know what's going to happen in Y2 before the sequel is released. Please, [b][i]please[/i][/b], listen to your dedicated fans on this one.

[spoiler]Im sure people will call me a Desticle, but that's fine.. I [i]am[/i] a Desticle. This game is my favorite hobby, and I only want to see it live up to its potential. Destiny essentially saved my life and personal relationships, but that story is for another time.[/spoiler]

Edit 2: Look, guys.. I don't feel like I'm entitled to anything. I'm not one of those people who expects everything while contributing nearly nothing. This post is constructive criticism. I want nothing more than to see this game grow and reach its full potential. I know [i]many[/i] veterans of this game are in agreeance with this post. I have heard far too many people bring up all of these points. I feel that it's fairly obvious from a business perspective that when you are losing customers, you try to give them some insight as to why sticking around will be worth it by showing what's going to be available down the road. I understand that many of you are children who do not know the first thing about business, software development, or programming, so the point of this will fly right over your heads. Keep your negativity to yourself. I am not saying I personally need the things listed, but that bungie needs to do these things if they want to win back their consumers.
